The Road to Glory Page #4

- Right.

I'm getting out of here.

- Me too.

Quiet everybody, quiet!

What's it?

There's a mine.

- They're going to blow us up.

Why not? What do you think

you get paid five sous a day for?

Tenshun!

As you were. Where is it?

- Here.

Captain, what are we going to do?

Do?

- Do we go?

Go, where?

Into the next dugout or the next?

They're not trying to blow up us.

If the mine goes off, all of us go.

Suppose I do move you out.

How long would the Boche

take to discover it?

They wouldn't need their mine.

You're in no danger now because

you can hear them digging down.

They'll not blow up their own

sappers. Go on back to bed.

Say, Sergeant.

A double ration of rum all around.

- Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, can't you do something?

Can't you get us out of here?

- He told the truth.

Do we've to stay here?

- Until we're relieved.

What if it blows up before then?

You'll take us out of here?

- Easy.

We'll all get out...

...before it goes.

I certainly could use

some of this rum now.

Me too.

A week ago, before the raids...

...they'd blow up a lot more of us.

Yeah.

I suppose if we moved out now...

- Is just want they want us to do.

Move out.

They wouldn't need their mine.

They could walk right through.

Somebody's got to be here.

Hope it isn't us but it's

got to be somebody.

I...

...told the men that...

...I'd get them out before it goes off.

You told them?

I told them to stay.

You're the hero and I'm the murderer.

I'd like to tell them to get out.

Do you think I want them to blame me?

Be good enough to tell

me how you'll do it.

Look.

How are you going to be

able to get yourself out?

Your move.

I laugh when I think about them

Dutchman down there...

...digging all night long.

I laugh when I think of you and that

bread and cheese flying over France.

How many men you got here?

There's enough there. Sign that.

What is this?

Steel helmets.

They've just been issued.

How do you like them?

We're sitting over a mine...

...and they're sending us

steel helmets for our heads.

You're... What did you say?

They're digging a mine down there.

Say, give me that, I got

to get out of here.

Sergeant, a letter for you.

They've stopped digging!

Tell the men to stay at their posts.

- Yes, sir.

Listen.

They're digging again.

'Lf we don't get a payment on

your music box within a week...

...you'll find yourself in

a pretty serious situation.

Signed Hercules Bureau

of Collections'.

They should've been

here over an hour ago.

The relief is here, sir.

The relief is here, everybody

out. Now take it easy.

Captain, I'd just like to say that...

...I'd...

...like to apologize for the remark

about the numbers of replacements.
